I am so grateful to my dear friend Cassie for creating these studio portraits of us in the last couple months of my pregnancy. We stacked the day with portraits in the morning and my baby shower in the afternoon. All such wonderful markers of a very fleeting time! Photographs by Cassie Valente.Hair…
We were lucky enough to visit Tokyo not once but twice this year, and we were doubly lucky to catch the tail end of cherry blossom season on the second trip. Since it was a work trip for Alex and we weren’t able to book things until the last minute, we got very lucky (again)…
I loved meeting this wonderful family on a perfectly sunny morning at Filoli. They are expecting their third little boy and had never done a single professional photo session before, though you would never know it, as they were all so easy to photograph! Here are just a few favorites below. Anna Wu is…
I was so delighted to photograph this family again, as they get ready to welcome a new addition very soon. I first photographed J & S (and their pup Leia) for their beautiful two-part wedding celebrations and got to meet little M last year when she was just beginning to toddle around. This time we…
It was such a joy to photograph Amanda and Parker for their maternity session. We ventured out to the Marin Headlands and battled crazy winds, but you’d hardly know it from the beautiful, glowing portraits we managed to create together. So excited to meet their little one, coming soon! Anna Wu is a wedding and…
Hannah reached out to me, loving my portraits of couples set in a vast landscape. We chose Mount Tamalpais for her engagement session with Ben to capture just that: a beautiful couple, in love, amidst the epic expanse of the hills, the fog, and the city they call home, off in the distance. And of…
Maya and Jason first met in college over a decade ago, and they have since lived so much life together, moving across the country to her hometown on the East Coast and then to his on the West Coast. They are now embarking on the next chapter of their lives, united and together for good,…
What an honor to photograph three generations of this beautiful family, all together! I was delighted to meet the newest member of Annsa and Arvind’s family, though he may have been more hesitant to meet me. The very windy day didn’t help much. But the images still turned out beautifully! A few of my favorites…
What an absolute delight to photograph this wedding for Cassandra and Walter! Cassandra was actually my photography intern more than a decade ago. She assisted me on all sorts of weddings and other sessions and learned some of my workflow and editing processes behind the scenes as well. It was so fun to catch up…
I have loved watching this little family grow! I first photographed E when he was just two weeks old, and now he’s up and about, exploring the world on his own two feet. The Yens have been diligent about taking the whole family on hikes, so we headed into one of their favorite environments for…
K and Z had a beautiful San Francisco wedding day , first getting ready at the Hotel Kabuki in Japantown, taking a Waymo over to San Francisco’s City Hall for an intimate ceremony, and completing their celebrations with a reception at Foreign Cinema. All in all such a beautiful, elegant way to mark their union….
This was a sweet session for Ailan and her family, walking around Lake Chabot in the East Bay. Her two sons were home from college for the holidays, and their energetic new puppy was ready to steal the show. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work at…
